4.5 stars. Tanabe was just soooooo annoying.

But other than that, this was amazing. <3 <3 I really can't wait for the next omnibus to come out, I want to see how the story will go on.

The art is absolutely gorgeous, details, details everywhere, great facial expressions and human anatomy. Good job!

I would recommend this.

Maybe I will write a longer review soon.

Pretty solid manga from beginning to end. It took me a while to get used to the character drawings (they all have similar features),but I got over that once I realized how beautiful the space and landscape art was. Look forward to volume 2!

I was enjoying it until I got to the first suggestion of one of the protagonist's attraction to a twelve year old. I didn't think to check the warnings and I don't want to read that in what I was hoping this story would be

I really enjoyed this manga.  Some parts are funny, some are dark and tragic.  Mixed in are details about space travel that I didn’t realize. 

There are great characters and two are well-developed. I’ll probably read the next volume to see where this story is going.

Surprisingly philosophical, but more of a series of short events rather than one comprehensive story/plot. Wish we got more Yuri and Fee in this volume!

This book is incredibly drawn and tells a compelling story about the perils of obsession. It’s excellent hard sci fi and well worth the read. I kept taking snapshots of the incredibly intricate linework, funny faces, and stunning layouts. I can’t wait to finish the next half!!
